How did Biden's son give his life for this country?
I've seen vids of Biden when he was young-ish....he was a skinny, awkward-looking, prematurely balding dude.Really does not look like he could 'smack (anyone) in the ass' but his nanny, 'back in Scranton'
i’m just curious about this dynamic i don’t care personally one way or the other but i do have friends who have chosen to be conservatives and they get totally destroyed on social media pages for their choice.
it’s almost like a lot of ex jw w become as toxic and his judgmental as jehovah’s witnesses themselves what’s up with that?
i also know conservative ex jw’s that can do the same so again i’m not leaning one way or the other i’m just noticing factual observations.
Because quite a large number of the ex JWs (or more accurately raised JWs but not JW as adults) you're.most likely to come across online are usually pretty young. Many are still very influenced by the education system /celebrity culture/liberal media etc. and haven't matured enough to think for themselves or develop their own personal worldview yet.
i know we get a bit cynical and hard boiled about the exploits of wt inc. but this takes the biscuit.
apparently these ecuadorian indigenous people objected to being targeted by the sect.
so wt inc rode in and guess what?
Oh my god these people have zero self awareness. Read the room, Watchtower. What do you think the population at large thinks of you when they hear this kind of thing?
There was a poster on here called Orphan crow who published at lot of interesting stuff about Watchtower cynically targeting indigenous communities in their own dialects/language, because they receive big fat government grants for doing so. They get a win-win - converts & cheques with a big pat on the back from the press, oftentimes.
But of course we know JW-dom destroys family relations & is particularly bad for close knit, traditional communities & their cultures.
my only prowess in making predictions stems from my 77-years of life in the united statesgrowing up under president truman, eisenhower, kennedy, nixon, .....etc.
etc.i was a widdle kid sitting in front of a tiny black and white tv set when the very first broadcastsof political conventions, deal-making, debates (nixon vs kennedy), assassinations (jfk, rfk, martin luther king, etc.
) i grew up with duck and cover under my elementary schooldesk, the cold war, the iron curtain, the korean war, the vietnam war and i went to federal prisonas a jw conscientious objector while hippies, flower children, political activists protested and universitystudents were fired up on by troops.i grew up reading newspapers (2 of them).
TOH. I don't think Biden voters were switching to Trump as much as Biden voters preferred to stay home instead of vote for Harris.
You might have a point there, since Trump.supporters are trump VOTERS whereas Democrats aren't necessarily going to vote for Harris given her appalling performance.(With the exception of the presidential debate which makes me sure she was given the questions prior to the debate).
Liam Also want to thank the girls of the View for their stupidity on live TV, that convinced a lot of young Gen Z girls to switch from Harris to Trump.
🤣🤣Whoever asked Harris on The View what she would do differently to Biden with her promptly saying "I can't think of one thing" you should definitely be thanking, since that probably lost her the election!

Batya Ungar's comments are SO on point, here at 7:52 , about the working/middle/aspirational class being derided and abandoned by the Democratic party who now cater to their donor class -the likes of George Soros who cares nothing for America.
can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
However, these long quoted from someone else's work are best shared through a link, frankly,
I agree Goowy. It's also good to summarise links in your own words do that people can decide whether to have a look.
Many of these posts are not so much an expression of a point of view - just poor attempts at conversion imo.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
I feel sorry for them. What a terrible misfortune that their daughter stumbled across this English narcissist, a wolf in sheep’s clothing at the Kingdom Hall.
Nah, not having that......Lloyd? Evans?...dudes clearly Welsh!

Watchtower has a way of ruining marriages.
news on the person you call (atlantis!).
(before he came to simon's board he was called the twin, the crawler, the titan, the scanner, and many other names to hide his identity.
he has never been caught and to this day the watchtower society has never known who he was.
Dear Petra, Would you at all consider recounting the story of yourself and Atlantis, please? Perhaps an interview with Barbara Anderson, who does interviews every other Saturday on Rick Fearon's "Six Screen" You Tube channel? You can do so anonymously, I think, with just a voice over. I'm absolutely sure she would do both Atlantis and your own story justice! Very many of us would be enormously interested to hear all about Atlantis, the humble and generous-hearted JW "apostate grandfather" to us all.....but most especially to you, of course!
Much love and thank you for your heart warming post. There could be no better tribute to Atlantis xxx
i’m an elder who is pima, i’m amazed how much info is available to all elders.
you can see all private details of every member of the congregation.
i wonder how these sisters feel about their private details being available to these creepy elders?.
DW If she is a doubting JW, then she will never give out any such details to the elders in the first place itself. Simple.
Well, not quite. Presumably she would have been a believing JW at some point and often that is the issue. There's often no way to get this information removed once a JW does wake up, no?
